About this house rental

Casa Ispirazione was renovated in the last few years to bring it up to a modern standard.
All rooms have central heating, the open plan living room/kitchen has additionally got a beautiful wood burning stove with a large glass window to bring extra atmosphere and warmth into the heart of the house. Around it is a large L shaped sofa for at least 6 with a bench next to it as well as tables for up to 9 people. The modern kitchen is perfectly equipped.
The upper bedroom1 as well as the just mentioned living room have each large sliding door windows of 2x3m, enabling breathtaking views and easy access to generously proportioned, roofed balconies (10 sqm).
A fantastic, sunny terrace of 10x10m, made with stone paving, with stunning open views and at the same time very private, south east facing (morning sun), gives you a flexible outdoor living-space : 1/3 is under a canopy of leafy vines, there is also a stone bench and stone sofa with a large umbrella for additional shade.


more about the location and shopping : As the google map above indicates, you take the road at Villadossola in the direction of Valle Antrona, to Montescheno, Barboniga until you reach the parking place at Valleggia. The road is sometimes really narrow and goes from 250m in Villadossola up to 850m in Valleggia. It is a beautiful drive through little villages, forests and open with many curves. For the 12km up or down it will take you about 15 minutes by car.
The casa ispirazione is situated on the south eastern fringe of the little village with open views to the south and east.
The terrace which is directly in front of the living room is next to the (somewhat wild) garden. You can walk to Montescheno to the shop (in 20 min down, more like 30 min up), or by car in 5 min, the shop is very well stocked.
In Villadossola or Domodossola, or in any other larger town in the Ossola Valley or by the lakes, you find shops and supermarkets selling practically everything and of course also lovely Italian food.

more about the house itself: To the west of casa ispirazione we have reconstructed another house, which does connect with the first at bedroom 4. Apart from this connection, both houses are totally independent and we sometimes stay in the 2nd house while we let the casa ispirazione.
as bedroom 4 is the only attached room to the new house and its kitchen and terrace,
we want to let it only in certain situations, if we can come to an agreement, to respect each others privacy.

If you would like to get a more detailed description of the swimming possibilities, I can send it to you per email.

Superb!

Für vier Personen war es das perfekte Haus. Es ist groß genug um sich ein bisschen aus dem Weg zu gehen oder gemeinsam auf dem Sofa oder der Terrasse zu lümmeln. In der Küche hat es uns an nichts gefehlt. Es ist sauber, ruhig und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Die Nachbarn sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Beim nächsten mal würde ich ein Moskitonetz mitnehmen.

Wenn man die sehr kurvenreiche Auffahrt von Villadossola mit zum Teil engen und steilen Passagen auf einer durchgehend asphaltierten Straße geschafft hat (Abzweig in Cresti nicht verpassen), erreicht man auf einem schmalen Plateau den kleinen Parkplatz am Ortseingang von Valleggia. Das Gepäck muss von dort auf einem schmalen Weg auch über Treppen zum Ferienhaus getragen werden. Das traditionell gebaute, sehr behutsam und stilsicher renovierte und gut ausgestattete und aufgeräumte Steinhaus ist die Mühe der Anreise wert und gibt einem schnell das Gefühl, an einem wunderbaren Ort angekommen zu sein. Drei Wochen haben wir die Ruhe und den Komfort in und um das Ferienhaus genossen, und bei zahlreichen Wanderungen und Ausflügen das Antronatal erkundet. Da das Gelände durchaus alpin ist, sollte man Freude am sportlichen Wandern haben und im Sommer gerne früh aufstehen. Radfahren ist auch möglich, am besten mit einem E-Bike, da auch im Toce-Tal und rund um die Seen immer wieder längere Steigungen zu bewältigen sind. Da die Beschilderungen nicht immer zuverlässig an den erforderlichen Stellen zu finden sind und man nicht überall Netzempfang hat, sollte man eine genaue Karte mitführen oder entsprechendes Kartenmaterial auf dem Smartphone haben. Für größere Einkäufe und zum Flanieren fährt man am besten nach Domodossola. Auf dem Marktplatz der Altstadt herrscht reges Treiben, es gibt zahlreiche Bars und Ristorante, die zum Verweilen und Genießen einladen. Für den schnellen Einkauf bietet sich der Alimentari in Montescheno, Fraz. Sasso an. Dort bekommt man fast alles für den täglichen Bedarf. Kulturhistorisch ist die Grenzregion mit ihren zahlreichen Alpenübergängen ins benachbarte Wallis spannend. Wer sich für Kunst interessiert, sollte auch die Kirche S. Gaudenzio in Baceno besuchen. Der Kontakt zum Vermieter war problemlos und wir hatten den Eindruck, dass ihm sehr daran gelegen ist, dass sich seine Gäste wohlfühlen.

Wunderschönes Häuschen in einem kleinen abgelegenen Dorf. Ein Ort um die Seele baumeln zu lassen.
